"Next, a man spoke Chinese with a strange accent on the walkie-talkie, and then fired at him with the Judgment's general-purpose machine gun. Taking advantage of the interval between reloading belts, he quickly retreated towards the foot of the mountain, and finally lost contact... "

"The machine gun should be at this position, there are two in total, and there are a few wounded there, and it was found that they were all killed by the other side by cutting their throats. Oh yes, Waker also said that they were attacked by Russian-made guns during daytime tracking." Butterfly mines and booby-traps ambushes, the number is not large, obviously not for killing, but for delaying and alerting."

"So he suspects that this person is likely to be from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, or even the Russian military. Not only has a strange accent, but also butterfly mines. It is impossible for Xinjiang to have such weapons, unless someone finds a storage of former Soviet weapons abroad. arsenal."

Tian Yu curled her lips and did not continue to ask. As a person who is engaged in special work, she is very aware of the importance of confidentiality.I had no choice but to pick up a marker pen and draw the outline of the scene in my memory on the mirror in the room.

Although she has never been to the scene, she is quite reliable in drawing and has a very good memory. She can restore the scene in the photo without looking at any materials.

"Waker's guess is not unreasonable. There are indeed survivors from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and even Afghans in the rebel army." Sibek leaned in front of the mirror to check the scene carefully, but he didn't see anything from it. The point worth discussing is that I agree with the inference of the witness Waker.

"... 300 meters... 100 meters... You see, in Wacker's description, the gunman seems to be only one person, otherwise he would not be able to escape from the cover of machine gun fire."

"If this is the case, things will be simple. Counting from the time when the camp was attacked at 11 o'clock in the evening and the gunman retreated into the swamp, there should be more than 3 hours of non-contact time between when he found out that the team lost contact."

"The shooter used this time to move east along the wetlands, at least 1 to 2 kilometers away. Tian Yu, you have trained in the swamp area along the coast of Chadian. I guess I should be right?"

The same simple topographic map and the initial position diagram of the combatants on both sides will have different understandings in the eyes of different people.Sibeck didn't see anything because he wasn't good at analyzing this type of data.

But in Zhang Ke's eyes, it is almost a simulation game. You only need to measure a few length data, and then bring in the training data of the East Asian Alliance Air Force Paratrooper Special Service Team. The course of action is planned.

"If it's the paratrooper special service team, they should be able to walk more than 3 kilometers. Those guys are doing this kind of training all day long, and they're all livestock!" Tian Yu pouted again. She didn't have too positive comments on anyone who was better than her.

"Well, if this assumption is true, the next step will be very easy. The gunman climbed ashore from here and quietly crawled across the road, carefully approaching the easternmost adjudicator, and then used a pistol equipped with a silencer to kill him at close range."

"By analogy, there is no need to turn a straight line until the westernmost Judgment is solved. Here, Waker made the mistake of underestimating the enemy. He was too conceited about the Judgment's combat ability, thinking that the opponent had only one person. In order to increase the width of the blockade , put everyone in a long line of snakes, lacking mutual protection."

"They have always crushed the rebels with their superior strength and weapons. They don't have much experience in contending with more advanced opponents, so they have formed inertial thinking, which is fatal."

"However, the mysterious killer's movements were not too fast, and he was discovered before he finished killing one by one. But it was too late. The gunshots that Wacker heard should be because the gunman saw that the situation was not good. Killed the last of the Judges to the west with a frontal rifle shot."

"Then the gunman returned to the fire support position in the middle, intending to shoot Wacker with a machine gun. As for why he failed... There are many reasons, such as the machine gun jamming, and there are not enough bullets."

"It can be seen that this mysterious killer is very good at taking advantage of weapons, and he is meticulous in thinking and has calculated every step. But his execution ability is not very strong, and he is not willing to take too many risks. If it is replaced by a special service member, Wacker will definitely Can't run away."

"But then again, unless our special service members put on diving suits and completely protect their hands and faces, it is difficult to lurk in the swamp for several hours. According to the information obtained by the Armed Forces, the mosquitoes in southern Xinjiang are not Generally powerful, it can still bite people through two or three layers of clothes, and it is very poisonous."

After obtaining Tian Yu's accurate data, Zhang Ke used a pen as a pointer to point at the lines on the mirror and began to deduce the scene at that time, not only including the shooter's route and weapon use, but also psychological analysis and comparison.

"There's only one person!?" Sibeck understood, but didn't quite believe it.Although he is not a military member, he still has to participate in military training every week. After seven or eight years, he can't be called a military rookie.If he was asked to do this, he would be finished if he couldn't kill a few enemies.

Chapter 492

"Judging from the results, it can only be one person. If there are two or more people, Wacker will not even be able to see the sun in the morning."

Zhang Ke threw down his pen and lit a cigarette for himself, continued to stare at the mirror, and went through the deduction just now in his brain, trying to find something unreasonable in it, but unfortunately he didn't find it.

"I have a question... how did he find out that the adjudicator had set up this formation on the south side of the road? Judging from the background of one of the photos, the roadbed is higher than the gravel and wetlands on both sides. If the shooter retreats Going into the wetlands makes it impossible to see what's on the south side of the road."

"Don't forget, it was in the middle of the night when the clouds were very thick. Even with military night vision goggles, it would be impossible to observe at such a long distance. Once you get close, it's hard not to be noticed by the adjudicator. Reeds can't stop bullets."

But Tian Yu is not a vegetarian either.Although she is not as rich in theoretical knowledge as Zhang Ke, she has received more military training and performed more missions than Zhang Ke.From the perspective of actual combat, I feel that Zhang Ke's inference is unreasonable from the beginning.

"Do you know thermal imaging sights?" Zhang Ke nodded slightly. Indeed, Tian Yu's question seemed unreasonable, but he became more determined in his heart.The more unreasonable it is in the eyes of ordinary people, the more it can be used by masters as a trump card. Otherwise, why should one person defeat more than 30 people.

"Can the thermal imaging scope see beyond 300 meters?" As a killer, Tian Yu must have used such equipment, but he did not dare to overestimate its performance.

"The large-aperture objective lens thermal imaging scope equipped by the US military can even reach one kilometer." Zhang Ke nodded vigorously.

"Damn, why don't you just say that the beret is here? We haven't found this kind of equipment in the US military bases stationed in Japan. The rebels can have it! Not only have I used the Russian-made military thermal sights, but I have brought them. How about you Try to shoot that bishop from here!" Tian Yu immediately sneered at this answer.

Let me talk about reality and you play theory with me. Who doesn’t know that there are many advanced equipment in the old world. The problem is that it has been ten years since the old world. Even if you go to this fort or that in the United States, you may not be able to get it. Such professional equipment is scrapped even if it is found.

"Don't try, we did have it...don't ask me, just ask Minister Zhou, it's also a top secret!" Seeing Tian Yu's frantic look, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Ke's mouth.

As he got older, he seemed to be more and more sympathetic to the theories someone had instilled in him as a child.It is really wonderful to crush people with knowledge, I know it but you don’t know it, I still don’t say it, it will kill you and make you mad!

"Captain Shibeck, I can no longer participate in the situation analysis if this continues, let him write the conclusion for the headquarters!" Tian Yu is not a soft persimmon, and will not be choked back by such nonsense again and again.You don't say yes, okay, then I quit!

"Uh... Staff Officer Zhang, I don't think these weapons and equipment should be kept secret. If you insist, I can ask Minister Zhou for instructions immediately!" Not only did Tian Yu have an opinion on Zhang Ke, but Xibeck didn't want to come right away A top secret or something.

He has a higher level of secrecy than Tian Yu, and he also knows who Zhang Ke's so-called top secret refers to.It is true that no one has mentioned Hong Tao's name in the league these years, but that doesn't mean that it cannot be mentioned. There is no such rule within the league.

"...Okay, but only the three of us know!" Zhang Ke stroked his chin and thought for a while, feeling that his deduction was too wild and unconstrained, even if Zhou Yuan was present, he would not believe it.

It's okay to talk about it, just outline the characteristics of the shooter.However, this kind of inference cannot be spread from oneself, especially not to let unrelated people know.

The current East Asian League is no longer the Revival League and the Rescue Team of the past, and the internal struggle is also very fierce. Once someone catches the pigtail, it will not only affect me, but many other people will follow suit.

"I agree, and I will be responsible!" Seebeck agreed very simply and seriously to this point.

"Tian Yu, the weapons and equipment mentioned just now did exist in the East Asian Alliance. You must remember Chairman Hong, who brought the weapons and equipment we found from the US embassy. These include HK416 automatic rifles and HK45 pistols. , night vision goggles, body radar, etc.

"It was he who started to steal weapons and equipment from US bases stationed in Japan and South Korea by boat. During that time, it was really difficult to get back good things, including two large objective lenses with thermal sights."

"This also attracted verbal protests from Japanese and Korean survivor groups, but he was too famous at the time, and he was too good at pretending to be a saint. In a few words, he said that stealing things from people's homes was an on-the-spot inspection of the living environment and measurement of radiation. The value is so, it seems to be for the health of others."

"At that time, he used to carry two pistols and two daggers on his body every time he went on a mission, and hung two American-made grenades on his chest. Hanging two grenades, this habit is inherited from him at that time."

"Secretary-General Randy and Minister Jiao have used those two hot-sighted guns, but Director-General Hong is useless. His bad marksmanship can be used without a rifle, let alone a sniper rifle. Clear."

With Sibeck's guarantee, Zhang Ke no longer has any worries, even if it is only verbal.So he turned around and sat on the bed with his legs crossed, and began to talk about those so-called top secrets.

"Chairman Hong... At that time, I was still in the Chang'an sub-base, but I had heard of it but never met a real person!" Tian Yu was dumbfounded, how could this sudden attack reach him when he was a child.

"It's your luck that you didn't see a real person... especially girls!" Xibeck suddenly interjected, with a half-smile expression on Dachang's face.

"...He is scary? Could it be possible that he will also rob civilian girls!" Tian Yu was a little confused. She had heard some stories about the founder, but they were all vague.Over the years, as the management has changed from old to new, few people mention the past, and even if they want to know, there is nowhere to ask.

"He is very annoying... He can easily see through your heart, and never tire of attacking your weaknesses. Who would like to be watched like this every day, and have nothing to do to poke your weakness twice!"

Speaking of those past events, Sibeck is a bit contradictory. He is willing to work with Hong Tao, but it is only a work together, and he is determined not to be a friend.From values ​​to cognition of the world, to attitudes towards people and living habits, there are many conflicts, even contradictions.

"Could he be stronger than Minister Zhou and Minister Lin?" Just based on a few words, Tian Yu doesn't think the legendary founder of the alliance is so scary. In her eyes, Zhou Yuan and Lin Na are the ones who are superior to the alliance. Idols who have made great contributions and need to be worshiped, others... seem not to be qualified.

"..." Xibek and Zhang Ke looked at each other, and stopped discussing this issue in a tacit understanding.Summer insects cannot speak to the ice, but to the time; well frogs cannot speak to the sea, but to the void.Tian Yu doesn't know how good Hong is at skinning, he has too little experience!

"Staff Zhang, if it's true that the weapons have leaked out, as long as the headquarters goes through the files, the suspect can be traced. Even if the gunman can't be found, his general origin can be determined."

Tian Yu didn't continue to ask any more questions, and brought the topic back.A reasonable conclusion must be drawn today, and then reported to the headquarters in detail. Zhou Yuan is still waiting to see.

"I think it's okay. Let the headquarters send people to investigate this matter. We can provide the suspicious points at hand and cooperate with the investigation." Seebeck was eager to push this matter out quickly, and also echoed his words.

"There is no need to report. There is no detailed entry and exit record for this batch of weapons in the files of the Ministry of Armed Forces. I don't think other departments should have them." Zhang Ke shook his head with a bitter expression on his face. It's a waste of words, and I can solve it all with a telegram.

"What? How is this possible!" Tian Yu and Xibek exclaimed at the same time, with disbelief on their faces.

From the Renaissance Alliance to the East Asian Alliance, no matter how the name is changed, the internal management rules are the same, and they are becoming more and more perfect.Regardless of the big or small things, there are rules and regulations, and it is impossible for the specific executor to be held accountable.When it comes to the issue of weapons and ammunition, it is even less likely that there will be collective omissions from top to bottom, just kidding!

"Nothing is impossible. This set of rules was not achieved overnight. The initial management framework was not strict. This batch of weapons was obtained very early, and it has been almost eight or nine years. At that time, the alliance was still called a rescue team, and it was not armed at all. Department, all materials are managed by the logistics department.”

"Later, after several reorganizations and large-scale combat operations, the consumption and replenishment of weapons were very fast. Sometimes the ammunition depot that was just found on the first day was sent to the front line before it was urgently registered and put into the warehouse. At most, it was replenished after the fact. A receipt. The quantity and type are basically estimates, and there is no certainty.”

"About four years ago, as the number of ammunition found in the search became less and less, it became more and more difficult to replenish weapons and ammunition, and the large-scale battles to clean up zombies also decreased accordingly. Only then did the current set of weapons and ammunition management methods, strict storage and exit Sign it to someone."

"I remember that when the Ministry of Logistics and the Ministry of Armed Forces were handing over the management of weapons and equipment, they discovered that these weapons and equipment were missing. At that time, Secretary-General Randy was still the Minister of Armed Forces. He led a comprehensive cleanup, but in the end there was nothing. Clues, we can only sign and write off on the grounds of consumption.”

Don't look at Zhang Ke's young age, but he can't resist joining the organization if he is old.Just look for him in the East Asian League, except for Chu Qiu, he is the oldest, [-]% veteran.

So many things are not cold accounts and data to him, but vivid cases that have happened before his eyes.I may not be able to remember it normally, but as long as this dusty memory is awakened, I will know the details better than anyone else.

Chapter 493 The Secret That Is Not a Secret

"...you're saying that people have been stealing weapons from the Alliance since then!"

But, some people say one thing and the listener another.It's not that the speaker didn't express clearly, nor is it that the listener's comprehension ability is too low. What's poor is the unified cognition of the cause and effect.

For example, Tian Yu at this time, no matter how well trained she is, no matter how smart her brain is, no matter how strong her comprehension ability is, it is impossible for her to understand the past events so clearly, and she can only reason according to the current logic.

"More than six years ago, when Minister Lan investigated the whereabouts of this batch of weapons, he couldn't continue the investigation when he arrived at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Before the first capital defense battle, according to the records of the Logistics Department, these weapons were handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for safekeeping and use. .”

"But Minister Lin said that during the preparations for the defense of the capital, all these weapons were transferred to the front line. They were signed by the chairman and secretary-general at the time, and the procedures were complete. But who used these weapons and whether they were used up or not , and how to deal with it after the war, there are no supporting documents.”

"Without equipment, we conducted a comprehensive inspection on this matter. Some parties said that they used it, some parties said they hadn't seen it at all, and more people said they had no impression at all. Thinking about it, everyone was facing a million-level equipment for the first time. The army of zombies is coming, and everyone is very nervous and frightened, who cares to look at the types and models of weapons."

"Even if I read it, I asked again after two or three years. During this period, I experienced more than a dozen battles, big and small. No one can remember clearly. So this matter can only be left alone, and finally signed by Minister Lan. .”

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Zhang Ke had to push the time back a little bit, starting from Randy's investigation process.At that time, he had just joined the Air Force, and he happened to be seconded to the Armed Forces by Randy, and participated in the whole process.

"... But Minister Zhou's pistol and bullets are also from that batch of weapons?" Tian Yu is really a master who doesn't rub the sand in his eyes, and he wants to break the casserole and ask the end.

Compared with her, Sibek had gone back to the window to smoke a cigarette, and when he heard the names of Lin Na and Randy, he didn't want to ask anything, and even regretted letting Zhang Ke tell the secret.

One is the secretary-general of the alliance, and the other is the minister of the Ministry of the Interior. Top powerful figures, with two young military officers, secretly investigate the historical legacy of the big head.But now that he wants to stop it, he seems guilty, so he can only ignore it.

"In the league, Minister Zhou should not be the only one who owns an H45 pistol. Many senior members of the rescue team, including Secretary-General Randy, may also have a sniper rifle in their collection. In their eyes, those are not just weapons, but also a reminder of an unforgettable experience. A testimony and a memory of a person."

"By the way, there is also Ambassador Sibeck's C130. They are all private property, not belonging to the alliance." Zhang Ke has more say in this issue, and he also brought Sibeck in as evidence.

"Hehehe, that plane does not belong to me alone. It is the joint property of Schultz, Muller, Andre and me. Every September 9rd, we will go to Xishan Airport to have a look."

"On this day in nine years, it brought the four of us to a safe landing at Xishan Airport. It's a pity that Andre died of illness the year before last, and there are only three of us left... See things and think about others!"

For this period of history, Sibeck has nothing to worry about, and it is quite yearning to say it.Moreover, his Chinese is very good, not only his characters are correct, but he can also use very appropriate idioms in appropriate places.

"...Consultant Zhang, you are also the veteran of the alliance, haven't you collected some private property?" Tian Yu finally understood completely after hearing Sibeck's explanation, and then his gossip began to burn, and he turned his finger on Zhang Ke.

"I was young at the time, and I didn't have a fixed gun...but I collected a whole set of body armor, tactical vests, night vision goggles, and body radar. Chief of Staff Pan was late and didn't get anything. Every time I went to my house, Like a thief, his small eyes are wandering around."

Zhang Ke spread his hands and made a helpless expression.When Tian Yu had just extinguished the flame of the gossip, he suddenly released a big ingredient, which by the way disgusted his immediate boss Pan Wenxiang.

"Hahahaha..." Three people laughed loudly in the room, as if they all saw Pan Wenxiang's slobbering appearance of a dead homeboy.

"...But we can't report to Minister Zhou that someone stole her gun, and then come here to fight for justice!" But Tian Yu grimaced again with a smile.

She is the one who is directly responsible to Zhou Yuan. As an ambassador, Sibeck only plays an auxiliary role in the secret investigation work, not to mention Zhang Ke. She is seconded to help, and even if she needs to take responsibility, she is responsible to the Ministry of Armed Forces .

"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. Maybe the Ministry of Internal Affairs has also intervened. We'd better not draw any conclusions, just report the existing evidence and reasonable inferences based on the evidence, and let Minister Zhou go and Minister Lin negotiated."

In this regard, Zhang Ke is much more mature than Tian Yu. He has been a cunning little cunning man since he was a child, and he followed Hong Tao's side for a period of time, and then entered the league management early.What things should be managed and what things should be pushed are very accurate.It is a kind of demeanor that has passed through thousands of flowers and not touched by a single leaf.

"It makes sense... Dr. Tian, ​​you and I each drafted a telegram, and the autopsy, bullet casings, and this sketch shall prevail. As for the whereabouts of the magpie, there is no progress yet, and we still need to observe!"

Sibeck is not only fast and good at learning Chinese, but also thoroughly integrated into the oriental culture.That's why he entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while Schultz, Muller, and Andre could only stay as technicians in the military and the electromechanical department. This is called talent determines destiny.

"You guys go to bed first, I have to continue listening..." Although no definite result was reached, the discussion was quite rewarding. Zhang Ke took off his glasses, rubbed his nose, and sat back in front of the radio to put them on. Headphones.

"Confiscation No. 1: After preliminary exploration, the conditions for the pangolin project are temporarily immature, and the bird plan has been blocked. We will continue to pay attention!"

After Tian Yu and Xibek left the room, Zhang Ke immediately took off his earphones and began to draft the telegram, then took out the travel brochure of Xinjiang Province from the salute, turned the telegram into irrelevant passwords.

This time he went to Xinjiang Province to participate in the investigation. In addition to providing the necessary technical support for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he also shouldered another mission to assess the combat effectiveness of the Redeemer and make a preliminary judgment.This mission is secret, and most people in the Armed Forces Department don't know about it, and report directly to Chief of Staff Pan Wenxiang.

The reason for keeping such secrecy is not that the Ministry of Armed Forces wants to interfere with the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, nor has it discovered any violations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but that the two departments have always had opposing opinions on how to deal with the redeemer.

Chapter 494 No One Sleeps Tonight

According to the meaning of the Ministry of Armed Forces, there is no need to cause such trouble at all. Just like when the Northwest Alliance and the Four-Province Alliance were annexed back then, first send diplomats to check the situation, select a few field airports that can land Yun-5, and then go to the sky. Jiang directly beheaded.

Although aviation kerosene has been completely cut off in the past few years, and high-grade gasoline and diesel oil have disappeared, relying on the advantages of the early start of the Jinmen Oil Refinery, a large number of technical personnel, and relatively complete equipment preservation, it can still be refined to be suitable for use in aviation piston engines. gasoline.Even if the amount is not much, it is enough for a large-scale airborne drop.

However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have always opposed this rough and bold way of fighting, thinking that it is best to subdue the enemy without fighting. Not only will it not benefit the region, but it will also add unnecessary burdens to the alliance.

Now the East Asian Union has no shortage of coal, oil, or manpower. The only thing it lacks is time. If you want to develop the heavy chemical industry from scratch, you can only climb a little bit.It is useless to light up the technology tree alone, lacking the cooperation of surrounding industries, many things and machinery are castles in the air.

As far as the project of restoring self-sufficiency in weapons and ammunition is concerned, the blueprints and formulas are ready-made, and the technicians are also ready-made, but what about the raw materials?To make guns and cannons, you must first produce seamless steel pipes. You need organic processing equipment and chemical raw materials. The collected old world finished products will not last long.

Without these things, can guns be made?It's okay, let's make do.Get a flintlock or even a breech-loading needle rifle, and then a smoothbore gun with a cardboard fixed bullet can definitely kill people.But from a long-term perspective, it is really useless except to waste manpower and material resources.

Now the territory and resources occupied by the East Asian Alliance are enough, what is needed is peaceful development, and there is no need to rush to pursue rapid expansion.It is enough to engage in infiltration, splitting, and subversive actions to cause trouble for other forces.Take a bite if you have a chance, and wait slowly if you don't have a chance.

But the military is not happy. They train soldiers every day to accumulate weapons and ammunition, gearing up for preparations, and then you tell me that there will be no large-scale military operations in the next five years, so why explain to your subordinates?Who doesn't want to go to the battlefield to make meritorious deeds and get promoted, who doesn't want to expand the territory and glorify the ancestors?

According to the meaning of those young military officers, not only should the territory and population of the Redeemer be obtained, but also the Southwest Alliance and the Southeast Alliance must be pushed away, and then the ships will be collected by land and sea and sent to Southeast Asia in one breath. Only then can they take a breather and rest .

But they can't be too relieved. They want Siberia in the north, and they want it in the Indian Peninsula in the south.Anyway, whoever doesn't take advantage of the opportunity of the zombie disease to sweep across Asia will be a sinner through the ages!

Fortunately, they didn't rush to go to South Korea and Japan. It's not that they don't want to go, but the nuclear leaks in those two places are too serious, there are almost no safe areas, and there are few survivors.Those who could be contacted ran over, and those who could not be contacted knew where to hide.

The most troublesome thing is that both opinions have supporters in the council, and no one can convince the other.The result is that the injustices on the public face are all contested in private.

The Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs launched a set of infiltration programs called Birds, and the Ministry of Armed Forces also launched a set of armed annexation programs called Pangolins.The two sides are both cooperating with each other and guarding against each other. They both want to improve the plan one step ahead, and then gain more support in the council.

Zhang Ke himself does not actually support the pangolin operation. His thinking mode is seriously influenced by Hong Tao, and he is unwilling to cause large-scale internal fighting among survivors before the zombies are completely eliminated.Necessary annexation is of course necessary, it is for development, and if the conditions for development are already met, there should be no blind expansion.

It's nice to say how much territory Guangtu has occupied and how many people it has ruled, but fighting always kills people, and not every time it can be as smooth as the previous two operations.Once you make a mistake, it will be an endless battle to the death.

But he is only a combat staff officer of the Staff Department under the Ministry of Armed Forces. His qualifications are useless, his position is not very high, and he is soft-spoken.So the work that should be done must be done, and it must be done well.

"Ring, ring, ring, ring..." It's not just some people in the Redeemer base who couldn't fall asleep tonight. Some people in the capital city 3000 kilometers away were also disturbed by the ringing of the phone.

"Hey, it's me..." Zhou Yuan stretched out her arms to pick up the phone on the bedside table, and put it to her ear with her eyes closed.
